If the advance amount is less than 1000 then it is the choice of the supplier to include in the invoice at the time of supply or set off with the next supply .
If the advance amount is more than 1000 he is liable to pay Gst when he receives advance.

If advance received by the supplier then it is compulsory to issue receipt voucher.
At the time of supply supplier issue invoice

receipt voucher is issued against advance received to any supply of goods / service / both where rate / nature of such supply is not determinable .

Advice : you shall issue receipt voucher in the context of Sec 31 as the word is "shall"

According to definition of supply u/s 7(1)a, advance receipt is also consider as supply as it specifically mention " agreed to be made"

@ abhishek

sec 31 states the time of issue of tax invoice.
an invoice for supply of goods need to be issued before or at the time of removal of goods for supply to the recipient where the supply involves movement of good.
